Then lift the front of the bottom back seat straight up and pull it forward. It should come right out. Once the bottom seat is out, you'll be able to remove the top of the back seat easily.
And just to add to what's already been written, the seat bottom is retained at the front by two stamped sheetmetal "J" hooks that catch one of the bottom metal rods of the seat frame. There's often a small barb at the end of the short leg of the "J" that can catch the rod if you're applying any upward force. I've found that you actually need to push down and rearward on the front edge of the seat cushion. If you pull up on the cushion beforehand, you can usually see these hooks by looking in the space between the seat cushion and the floor.
